Can this scrub be used on sensitive or reactive skin? What precautions should I take?

While the scrub is formulated for general use, those with sensitive or reactive skin should exercise caution. Begin with a patch test: apply a small amount to your inner wrist or behind the ear and wait 24 hours. If no redness, itching, or burning occurs, proceed with caution. Use gentle, circular motions instead of vigorous scrubbing to minimize irritation. The product contains coffee particles, which are generally mild, but individual reactions vary. If you experience stinging or prolonged redness, stop use immediately. Avoid areas with thin skin (like the underarms) or conditions like eczema, as mechanical exfoliation may worsen these. Always follow up with a hydrating body cream to counteract any drying effect from exfoliation.

• Do not use if you have open cuts, burns, or sunburned skin.
• If you’re prone to acne, avoid applying to affected areas, as exfoliation could spread bacteria.
• Store the scrub in a cool, dry place to prevent mold growth, which could irritate sensitive skin.

For long-term use, consider alternating with gentler exfoliants (e.g., lactic acid-based products) to reduce cumulative stress on the skin barrier.
